Maybe something useful happens to disable the fuse? The hundreds of pounds of high explosive are still hundreds of pounds of high explosive, in a rusty container, no?

In other words, "did you make up that thing you just wrote?" As it turns out, no, I did not. But I'm delighted you would imply that I did! At times my faith in online discourse gets a little too high, and it's healthy to

This photographer is employing an unusually shallow depth of field in some of these photos. You gotta have a gimmick.

It sounds pretty classically Unix to me. If the entitlement comes on a slip of paper they have to mail you, perhaps in an otherwise empty box or a FedEx envelope, it REALLY sounds like Unix.

I realized after some time that rather than putting a Pentium in glass, I would celebrate it by framing a card that had 4195835 / 3145727 or some other manifestation of the fdiv bug on it. Funny stuff.

What I was really driving at was that some are using the wrong definition of "space program." It's a good thing that space transportation is becoming a reliable service or utility, but that's something quite different th

Weird way of looking at it. Was Roscosmos “America’s space program” when they were selling the rides?

So “regular” they had to bump two astronauts who had trained for a mission on ISS.

I can respect that. I’ve got a counterfeit Athlon XP on the wall because it amuses me.

The cars that a current fifty year old saw driving around in their late teenage years were mostly hot garbage. There's a lot for a person to be nostalgic about when it comes to the eighties, but not cars.

Future generations are somehow going to find a way to tinker with C64 and Apple II without involving the 6502?

I think in 2024, if you're looking for people who share your annoyance with any given thing, and particularly annoyance with any given media personality, you will be able to find them. A triumph of social media. It warms the heart.

Both of the Henry Rollins interviews. The second one really reveals something about Rollins: he accepted a second interview knowing exactly what to expect and nevertheless couldn't help behaving like a dick.

The recent incarnation of isolationism in American politics might manifest if the US had the wrong leadership during an invasion of Taiwan or, I guess, Australia. Defending Japan is a reflex action. We have bases and troops there, as well a

> "brass tacks" writing style You're misusing that idiom - clearly the shorter "nice" version is the one that gets down to brass tacks (focuses on the essentials). It makes the same points in half the length.

Back to the original topic, I think the above is interesting but irrelevant. If your system is at risk of bringing in stormwater to screw up your measurement, you'd change where you're taking the measurement and/or be a littl

Municipal water systems have a "sanitary sewer" line in addition to a stormwater line. I've no idea how this method of virus testing works, but I beleive you would take samples from the sanitary sewer.

I had all the same problems but had the opposite conclusion, that I’ll never give them any more of my money if I can help it. Of course that could change if the mainstream x86 laptops continue to get worse and worse.
